title: catena-Poly[[[bis-(methanol-κO)bis-(seleno-cyanato-κN)manganese(II)]-μ-1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)eth-ene-κ(2) N:N'] 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)eth-ene mono-solvate].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, {[Mn(NCSe)2(C12H10N2)(CH3OH)2]·C12H10N2} n , the Mn(II) cation is coordin-ated by two terminal N-bonded seleno-cyanate anions, two methanol mol-ecules and two 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)eth-ene (bpe) ligands within a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Mn(II) cations are linked into chains along the c-axis direction by the bpe ligands, which are further connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the methanol H atoms and additional bpe mol-ecules that are not coordinated to the metal atoms. The Mn(II) cation and both crystallographically independent bpe ligands are located on centers of inversion, whereas the seleno-cyanate and methanol ligands occupy general positions.
